Thank God the Republicans are standing up for Main Street instead of Wall Street...

[Postman]

:sarcasm:

It's coming folks....It's unfolding right before our eyes....

The Republicans set the trap and the Democrats walked right into it....

How much you want to bet the Debates on Friday get cancelled?

1. Did you forget the sarcasm smilie

or am I totally missing something?

[Connie_Corleone]

2. More deregulation and getting rid of captial gains taxes for 2 years?

That's what they're fighting for to put in this bill.

[DemoRabbit]

9. and my fear - McCain will step in tomorrow

demand more regulation and no tax cuts... then present himself as the great FIXER of our economy when house repubs fall in line.

If it happens, remember I said it and it's all a game.

If it doesn't happen I'll be surprised.


... oh and it'll all be in time for him to make the debates.

3. The entire fucked up economy will be pinned on the Dems no matter what they do now

Yes, its coming.

5. Don't be so sure.

Our majority is tiny. We can easily bluff the GOP and force them to commit.

[lib2DaBone]

11. What if the DEMS just walk away... No Bill ...No Fix?

Why do DEMS walk into these traps every time? Just say no and walk away... we don't need any stinkin' bill.

[NNN0LHI]

13. I think they are waist deep in the big muddy now

They should have called this demand for cash the scam it was right off and let the Repigs figure it out.

The Dems should have never had one single press conference over this unless all the Republicans on the Finance committee were standing right next to them real close.

4. Ah, the pukes caused this mess!

They fucked over main street and are now crawling for cover. That simple.

[Postman]

8. You know that, I know that, but does Main Street know that?

This stunt allows the Repubs to distance themselves from Bush and to blame the Democratic "do nothing" Congress for allowing the disaster to happen on their watch...

[roamer65]

6. The Second Great Depression will be blamed on the Rethugs.

My boss today, a moderate Rethug, blamed them for blocking the deal and it just may sway him to vote Dem this November.

7. The Republicans refuse to negotiate..

the plan the President put forward. They send in a piece of paper with their 'demands' which includes tax-cuts, and less regulation and this helps Main Street how? The Democrats have said there will be no bill without the Republicans, so there will be no bill. The President's crisis is over.

[Postman]

10. Details, details....

most voters' eyes begin to glaze over when you start getting down into the weeds with all these important "facts", don't you realize there's a new Survivor series on tv?

All that needs to happen is for the headline to read -

Republicans Revolt Against Wall Street In Favor Of Main Street

[stillcool]

12. Isn't that always the case?

that people purportedly hang on every word spouted by the media? I'm not buying it, and I'm no genius.
